Nuked the Templates... Again

God, I hate Moveable Type.

Last night I tried to fix some issues people had with the comments. In doing so, I got some sort of "can't parse" issue over a "Categories" command. So I had to re-load the defeault templates, and wouldn't you know it, Moveable Type's default templates don't work either.

Eventually I figured out the problem was that I had to delete the entire section about "Categories," and then things seemed to work. But I don't understand how the "default templates" -- supposedly the basic templates, tried, tested, and true, have big bugs in them that require deleting big chunks of code just to get them to work properly.

So, having re-installed the basic templates, now my comments are back to not working at all. I'll have a go at it, and see what else I can totally fuck up.

I wanted to re-install my blogroll, but I was up late just trying to fix the site so I could actually post, and at some point I gave up. But I'll fix that at some point.

Again.

I can't take Moveable Type. For a program that touts its amazing functionality, you'd think that it would, you know, occasionally function.

Isn't That Just Swell Update: Well, now the only way to get the site to work at all is to delete the commenting feature completely. I know it's a popular feature, and it totally sucks that it won't work.

There is nothing at this point I can do. I give up.

I have contacted someone called WebDiva to try to fix this stupid frustrating piece of shit template and program. I am actually going to pay her some crazy blog-money. Some of your generously donated crazy blog-money, actually.

I just can't take it any more. I hate Moveable Type so much you can't even comprehend it.

Okay... Comments Are "Working" Again, Except You Can't Write in Your Name... Again: I'll continue to play.

You would think that with all the blogging press lately-- not to mention that crazy blog-ads money-- somebody would design, you know, easy-working blog software.

I know Blogger is junk, but for my simple needs, I expect the dang thing to work. Is that so hard?

Good luck. . . we're all counting on you.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

If you contacted Rachel over at Web Divas, you're going to get some good help. She put my site together, comments and all, and she really does know her stuff.

Ace,

I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm screwin' around with Movable Type to get off of Blogger, as tempting as it is to stay with the simple life.

I found that my "register to comment" wasn't working, and finally figured out why. When I clicked on Login to Comment, the URL sent to Typekey included "return=http://" and a numeric IP address, instead of the domain name. So I added this IP address to my Typekey list of URLs and now comments work.

This will probably stop working when they switch me to another IP number, but it gives me a clue on what to fix in my configuration. I may have to re-rerun mt-load. Ugh.

Probably not the same problem you have, considering how much Movable Type is chock-a-block with different and exciting ways to be screwed, but if it is, I hope this helps.

I can't wait, personally, until Steve Jobs comes out with iBlog, and makes this whole geek world a bit easier to configure, and actually have it work.

Good luck,

KorlaPundit

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
